Thanksgiving is right around the corner and my sincere hope is for all of our families to have a safe and relaxing holiday. I am incredibly thankful for our strong school community that includes students, staff, and families that have a shared value of communication, hard work, and intentional effort aimed at continuous improvement. Take time to ask your student(s) what he/she is thankful for and enjoy the holiday with family and friends!
The Scholastic Book Fair will be at HES for a few more days. Each class had a "Preview Day" in which students were able to look at the available books, posters, and other items in order to make a wish list. Each class signed up for a "Purchase Time Slot" to provide time for students to make purchases with money put into their 'ewallet'.
HERE is more information about the eWallet,
There are still two more days of Breakfast Buddies! Thank you, HSO!
From 7:00-8:00 AM, parents, grandparents, or other family members are welcome to join a student as their Book Fair Breakfast Buddy. There will be coffee provided in the cafeteria. Guests joining a student for breakfast will then have the opportunity to visit the Book Fair at 7:30 AM to peruse or make purchases. Students and families will not be able to go into classrooms early.
The upcoming holiday season is a wonderful time of year to think about ways to give back to the community. HES is participating in a food drive with a goal of collecting 1,000 items for the Hampshire/Burlington Food Pantry. Please see THIS FLYER for more information and then join us at Hampshire High School on Friday, 12/20 for a Pack-the-Place event to support the basketball teams! Students and families get in free by bringing in a food item to donate to the Food Pantry. Can't wait to see you there!
Is your child interested in drawing? The Young Rembrandts program not only teaches children how to draw, but also focuses on building important life skills. During classes, students learn to follow directions, work independently, and develop problem-solving skills. By providing a structured environment for artistic expression, the program gives children the tools they need to succeed both academically and emotionally.
